Green Gemstone Necklaces & Other Jewelry
Necklaces and other jewelry featuring green gemstones have never been more popular. The color green, and by extension, gems in this hue, symbolizes new beginnings, growth, harmony, and health. Now more than ever, we associate it with the earth and the need to protect our planet. Find out more about this vibrant color and jewelry (especially necklaces) featuring gorgeous green gems.
The Meaning of Green
The color green captures the serenity of blue and the energy of yellow, making it a very balanced, versatile shade. Researchers have determined that it's the shade most relaxing and restful to the human eye, which may be why stonecutters used to keep a small green gem to gaze at, and why bankers' lamps usually feature a green glass shade. There are more shades of green than there are of any other color – from frosty mint to deepest olive, there's a shade for everyone. It's nature's neutral, found in trees, flowers, grasses, and other plants all around the world.
In Western cultures, the color green is associated with beginnings, nature, health, and hope. Light green in particular symbolizes newness, youth, and optimism, and represents springtime. Medium, or "true" shades signify money and wealth. Deeper green hues are seen as sophisticated and luxurious.
In Japan, green is the color of longevity. In Thailand, it's the color for Wednesday.
Green, which is associated with the heart chakra, is seen as a deeply healing color, one that brings rest and balance to both mind and body. Why not bring this magical shade into your life with jewelry featuring green gemstones? At HAVERHILL, we handcraft jewelry with Emerald, Peridot, Green Agate, and Alexandrite. None of these are your birthstone? No worries – anyone can wear these beautiful gems.

The Beauty of Green Gemstones
Green-gemstone jewelry has a timeless look that flatters virtually everyone. Verdant Emerald, the birthstone for May, is one of the four precious gems (the others being Diamond, Ruby, and Sapphire). Peridot, August's birthstone, is prized for its bright yellow-green color. Green Agate is often associated with the zodiac signs Taurus, Gemini, and Virgo. And Alexandrite, one of the birthstones for June, gets honorable mention as a green gem – while it appears green in natural light, in other light it takes on a purple to purplish-red tone.
